I have such empathy for menopausal women now...I had NO idea how yucky hot flashes could be.

I am still running which seems to help and I no longer drink alcohol <sniff> but are there other things we can do?
This is coming from the woman who LOVED the COLD so much, I sufferred thru frostbite TWICE.....black cohash tea!
